BIG MISTAKE. You must only lie about what you paid for it never what it's worth. "Consider the children" as Bill and Hillary would have said. The real secret is to get it into the house without them knowing it's new.
Give the gun and holster or pouch to a friend before leaving town for a few days. Have your friend drop by and give it your wife telling her he is returning your gun. She will take it to your gun room for you and never give it another thought. This works not only once but repeatedly. It also works with cased English double guns. It seems they lose count beyond five.
